Help please!!!

So I have a long background including 2 extreme premmies both unfortunately passing away after birth

I'm currently almost 17wks pregnant this time I have had a stitch my last baby was due to ic, and started progesterone and asprin earlier than before

I have seen my consultant twice since the stitch but every time I mention it coming out at 36wks she reminds me that's only if I don't start contracting or my waters don't break before that, I know this and lots of other things regarding pregnancy, she knows I can analyse a sonograph, im trained in pead care although outdated and know a fair bit that I feel it can't be down to making me aware but more to do with the fact she doesn't think I will go that far

I think you might be over sensitive to it and they might just try and warn that the stitch isnt a guarantee that you will go to 36 weeks. Though they diagnose IC (internet cheapie (pregnancy\/ovulation test)) all they really know is that cervix starts to open too early and its not always easy to pinpoint the exact reason.

I think your probably just being a bit sensitive. I study medicine and still doctors tend to forget this and I have to remind them or they tend to talk to me like I don't have a clue.
Also she could just be trying to make sure your aware that you still might go into early labour. Were your other labours all due to ic or other things like pprom? Cause this could factor in why she mentioned it again. I really hope with the stitch and progesterone you get much Further along and get a take home baby.

Hiya I had a stitch and they said pretty much exactly the same to me. Thubk they were just trying to manage my expectations. Be reassured though it came out at 34w-standard for twins and they were born shortly after that. I did nearly have it out at 28w and 32w with strong braxtob hics but the observed me and I didn't progress. Keeping everything g crossed for you I know it's a very stressful time!
